| rdfs:comment | - Frankie Laine is a retired American Professional wrestler.
- Frankie Laine was an American singer and one of the more successful hit-makers of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Laine has had worldwide sales of over 250 million disks, and has earned 21 gold records. Originally a rhythm and blues influenced jazz singer, his energetic, passionate style has led some to consider him the first of the blue-eyed soul singers. Eventually he expanded to such varied genres as popular standards, gospel, folk, country, rock ‘n’ roll, and a hard-driving (and slightly campy) form of western/Americana.
- Frankie Laine was described by Peel in Peeling Back The Years as his first big hero and in Margrave Of The Marshes, he mentioned his experience in seeing him perform at the Liverpool Empire in 1954: "Mother had taken me to see him at the Liverpool Empire, and where I had been expecting a faintly ruffianly figure in appropriately ruffianly clothing, I got a slightly plump chap in a shot-silk suit who must have been nearing thirty. Frankie still sounded good though and I dutifully waited outside the stage door for his autograph, which I didn't get."

| abstract | - Frankie Laine was described by Peel in Peeling Back The Years as his first big hero and in Margrave Of The Marshes, he mentioned his experience in seeing him perform at the Liverpool Empire in 1954: "Mother had taken me to see him at the Liverpool Empire, and where I had been expecting a faintly ruffianly figure in appropriately ruffianly clothing, I got a slightly plump chap in a shot-silk suit who must have been nearing thirty. Frankie still sounded good though and I dutifully waited outside the stage door for his autograph, which I didn't get." Peel nominated Frankie Laine's The Kid's Last Fight as his favourite song of the artist in Peeling Back The Years and nominated it as one of his all-time favourites in a feature he wrote for Let It Rock magazine in 1974. He also included Answer Me for his Peelenium 1953 and nominated several of his songs for the Pig's Big 78. After his death, Peel was discovered to have three of Frankie Laine's records in his Record Collection.

Eventually he expanded to such varied genres as popular standards, gospel, folk, country, rock ‘n’ roll, and a hard-driving (and slightly campy) form of western/Americana. Throughout the 1950s, Laine enjoyed a second career singing the title songs of Hollywood films and television shows, including: Gunfight At OK Corral, 3:10 To Yuma, Bullwhip, and Rawhide. His rendition of the title song for Mel Brooks’ 1974 movie Blazing Saddles won an Oscar nomination for Best Song, and his recording of “Rawhide” for the television series of the same name has become a classic of the genre.
